How dare you did "View Source", you hacker.
5 comments

What's "view source", some kind of hacking instructions? Sounds like you're abetting.
As long as you're not aiding at the same time. Aiding & abetting is a no-no. Aiding OR abetting is not claimed to be an issue.
you mean Aiding XOR abetting. consider the forum.
why does it have to be exclusive? If both are false, then there's no confusion on making a charge. If only one is true, then someone being lazy might think it matches.

along your lines of considering the forum, wouldn't it need to be aiding && abetting? i don't know how to bitwise compare aiding to abetting.

Counterpoint that might get some attention:

"The Governor is in possession of software on his personal computer that allows him to decrypt the personal details of thousands of constituents who may have voted for or against him."

The "software" being a web browser, of course.

> you hacker

What a "hacker" is is a matter of definition.

But, the fact is the state was using "encryption" with such a level of security that pressing one button on any computer with a browser is all that is required to defeat it.

And I'll bet even the governor has access to this decryption software - he's got it installed on his phone, even! He must be hacking on the go.
Better hope they only used View Source. Could you imagine the federal crime of using curl or wget to retrieve this data?
Some serious Jedi business going on here
